Wow-- that is awesome. I hope you get to be off all the drugs very soon! :w00t:
Yay, wonderful news! I hope everything goes according to plan!
Thank you very much guys.
wow, hope to join you one day. :thumbsup:
That is great news!
Congrats!!!! That is great news for you. I hope you continue in health :)
Congrats, throw a big party for yourself! Yahoo!
Thank you!
Grr I have realised I got it wrong though doh! It is in another week I am supposed to stop. Do you think a week would make a difference? I have been on pred for 18 months, currently on 1mg and for last few months my dosage has gone down 1mg every 3 weeks from 5mg - so two weeks on 1mg right now.

I would tend to agree with Phil. I think at 1mg you body is making most of it on it's own again. I'd be ready to refill the script if there are any feelings of fatigue or pain though.
Thank you both of you.
Is that fast then? I was on 5mg for a long time, and it was just 3 months ago I started coming down from that.
That's not too fast. Most docs would say go no faster than 1mg per month once down to 10mg and maybe even a bit slower after 5mg but you know your own body the best. So going 1mg every 3 weeks is not much faster.
Mandy, my recommendation is to just do the extra week of 1mg. It's not a big dose, and you really do not want to risk having to stay on pred-- especially higher doses--if you get off it too fast.
Thanks Sangye. I took your advice, but am now finished :)
Congratulations!
I was just bumped up from 7,5 mg to 20 mg :( already tapering though, and hopefully I will be down to 7,5 mg again by early september.
WHOOYA!! I'm so happy for you! :w00t::thumbsup::hug3:Quote:
